Calling all Carlow buskers, and performers, Carlow Streetfest to host huge competition

Carlow Streetfest this coming April 12th and 13th is hosting a huge busker competition on Tullow Street.

Carlow Streetfest welcomes all forms of buskers from musicians, dancers, magicians and more.

Speaking on the first weekend of Streetfest Cathaoirleach of Carlow County Council, Cllr. Andrea Dalton had this to say: "last week was a great week for County Carlow with thousands attending the Pan Celtic Festival activities which immersed every element of Town Centre life in Celtic culture while also in tandem launching our own Streetfest Programme which will examine opportunities for the development of new experiences in the Town Centre. Cultural festivals like Streetfest serve as invaluable platforms for fostering community cohesion, celebrating diversity, and showcasing our town's unique identity. They not only bolster local economies by attracting tourism and supporting small businesses but also promote social inclusion and pride in our shared heritage. Events like these are the lifeblood of our community, enriching the fabric of our society and creating lasting memories for generations to come."

Speaking on the upcoming weekend for Streetfest in Carlow, Mayor of Carlow Municipal District, Cllr. Tom O’Neill, said "I’m looking forward to the exciting line-up we have planned for the upcoming weekend. Our programme includes free face painting, street performances, circus acts, juggling, stilt walking, and much more! It's going to be a day filled with fun and entertainment for the whole family. Join us on Friday 12th & Saturday, April 13th, 2024, for a memorable experience on Lower Tullow Street."
